The Walker opera house was filed
last night, Notwithstanding the bad
weather, to see Lew Johnson's Col.
ored Combination. Judging from
the frequent bursts Of hilarious
laughter, the audience enjoyed the
performance immensely. The com
pany is very good one. Loyett
and Wade are good end men, and
the character song by the latter cre-
ated roars of mirth. Miss Ella
Hawkins is a very pleasing little
performer who made quite a hit
with her skipping rope dance. The
songs rendered by members Of the
troupe were well received Salt

The Elk Point Dramatic Com
pany, as advertised, presented the
two plays, - Widow Hunt and
Driven from Home" at the Opera
House on last Wednesday and
Thursday nights. We are COM
PEELED to say that the attendance
was not what it should have been.
The COURIER expected a full house,
not becarse the company that were
to present these plays were star ac-
tors, and would give a irst-class
rendition OF the plays, but because
the company is composed of our
neighbors and friends, and the
profits were togo to the Opera House
Company, the managers of which
r certainly entitled to the gener-
Gus consideration Of our people for
the commenddble push and enter
prise exhibited in erecting within
our city such m elegant and fine
Opera House. The COURIER may
not be right in INDUCING in any
such expectations, but we could not
help it, and are sorry that our ex-
pectations were not fully realized.
The reason. however, for the small
attendance may be attributed to the
bad, stormy weather, and not to any
penurious disposition OF our citi-
zens. We are willing to take this
charitable view Of the case. We
wish to say, however, before closing
this item, that our home talent far
exceeded our expectations in the
rendition of the plays, and those
present were highly entertained.

AT THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
.T The Christmas tree and exercises
at the Congregational church, Satur.
day night, were of the most pleas.
ing and entertaining character.
They were somewhat late in getting
started owing to the fact that their
fine evergreen tree which they had
ordered from Sioux Falls, was ex.
| pected OH thesix o'clock train which
was very provokingly late that even
ing. After waiting some time the
prospect of getting the tree was
abandoned aud a Substitute impro-
vised out of a box-elder. 1t was
quickly covered with presents by
nimble fingers and willing hands.
The raised platform, the arrange
ment Of curtains and the elaborate
decorations throughout the church
showed that the ladies had been
busy during the week. The tree
was intended purely for the distri-
button of gifts To the Sunday school
children,-but we noticed some pref
ty fine presents handed out to some
pretty fair sized men and women.
Rev. Sabin opened the exercises
with a short talk and pray er. Then
followed about an hour of interest
ing exercises, consisting Of singing,
Rotations, speaking, &c, after which
old Santa made his appearance, and
with a large number of lively assist
ants, quickly distributed one or
more presents to each child present.
and some of the older people were
made happy with presents, among
whom was the worthy pastor. Rev.
Sabin, who received a small purse
containing ten silver dollars. 1t was
a most happy and joyous occasion,
and the children all went home
feeling in an excellent humor to-
ward good old "Santa Claus," who
had been SO kind and generous to
them.

At THE HAPrIsr CHURCH,

The Baptist church, 40 il their
custom, gathered at the chapel on
Christmas eve for tbs festive occa-
sion. The Sunday School. with
their Supt., Mr.. L. T. Kenney, teach
err. patrons and friends were out
en- masse. The Evergreen Tree. was
nothing less than beautiful, while
the trimming and decorating the
house were in artistic style. The
entire arrangements were with ref
erence to the Sunday School though
the gifts were numerous and some
quite costly. The exercises opened
by the choir, led by II. j. Muhs.
Supt. Kenney made an appropriate
address, after which Elder G. w.
Freeman led in prayer. "The Star
of Bethlehem was beautifully sung
by the choir, and then select read
ings and Rotations followed until
Santa Claus put in his appearance.
He appeared old ard weary, but
kind and generous as ever. He
said that three or four other places
we're waiting his call. SO that his
stay must be short and all must be
done quickly. Several helpers came
to his aid and soon the tree and the
long wire were stripped Of their rich
presents and the children's laps
filed with gifts, while their hearts
overflowed with mirth and JOY. At
the close all felt that the gathering
had been an imposing, joyous one.
Sunday evening was given up to a
Sunday School concert. The con-
gregation was large and most order
ly. Singing by the large choir was
most excellent. The parts taken by
the children showed good training
3nd much painstaking. Mr.. Ken
hey seems to be the right man in
the right place. Elders Freeman
and Jones took part in the services,
and all seemed happy at the close
of another Christmas eve and day.

An Apes Shrewdness.

pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.J
There are on the coast Of Java Il pc
culiar long-tailed ape and sand crab
that grows to extraordinary size and
possesses great strength i'll its claws
The apes are particularly fond Of these
crabs, which are very shy and wonder
fully quick in their movements The
crabs live i'll deep holes in the sand, but
spend much of their time ON the oHt-
side Of their holes, where they run and
hop about. When the ape finds that
he is foiled in his effort to capture a
crab 10y springinR at group, he backs
himself up TO a hole into which one has
disappeared. Sitting down, he thrusts
his long tail into the hole. The crab,
to punish such unwonted intrusion,
seizes the end of the tail the mo-
~ment itapproaches. There is a comical
look of suspense on the apes face as he
thusts his tail into the hole. When
the crab closes on the tail the look of
suspense departs. The ape gives an in
voluntary start and then settles on his
launches, while he closes his teeth to-
gether with a determined air, and,
eventually springing forward, out comes
the tail from the hole with the crab
dangling TO it, and the ape is soon pro-
ceeding with his meal.

lntcr-state COIamcrce Bill.

To the Editor Of tc Dispatch:
1t seems that u railway syndicates
are organizing Opposition to the Rea-
gan bill. | suppose we may expect a
strong lobby, with al the essentials for
successful operation, will asSail the
representatives of the people at Wash
ington. If general report is to be re-
he'd upon the methods of railway lobby
lists are not at all promotive of repre-
sentative virtue. The syndicates be-
come very restless whenever any at
tempt is made in Congress or State
legislatures TO bring their manage
ment under Legislative control. Not
one of the syndicates neglects TO have
its Waterman, informer, and intrigueT
near the seat of legislation. The food
the syndicates have fed upon has pro-
duced such growth that they seek to
control, if they cannot ignore and defy,
legislative action. They do not hest
tate to appear before Congress in their
peculiar roJe whenever any legislation
looking to the reform of abuses is in
troduced. Alas alas They are re-
ceived with respect, and often their
efforts are crowned with success.
"Plate sin with gold, and the strong
lance of Justice herself breaks" is not
only poetic sentiment, but, / fear, a
sad truth.
The features of the bill specially OBJ
noxious TO the syndicates are the 4th
and 9Th sections-the one prohibiting a
greater freight charge for short than
for long haul, the other forbidding
the system OF pooling precticed by
many OF the syndicates- Let us look at
these sections and see II the principles
